Style Guidelines ​

Follow these conventions so new pages match the rest of the docs.

File Structure ​

KindWhere
App guidesdocs/app/
Blender guidesdocs/blender/
Unreal guidesdocs/unreal/
Contributingdocs/contributing/
Page templatedocs/templates/
Images / videospublic/<section>/...
  • One topic per page. Split long topics into separate pages.
  • Section overviews use index.md and <SectionLinks />.
  • Nested group: put related pages in a subfolder with its own index.md.
  • Sibling section: add sidebar.config.json with "section": true (see Blender Nodes for example).
  • Keep media paths mirrored under public/, e.g. public/blender/locating-blender/steam.mp4.

Naming ​

  • Files and folders: kebab-case only (lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens).
    • Good: installing-plugin.md, locating-blender.md
    • Bad: InstallingPlugin.md, locating_blender.md
  • Name the file after what the reader is doing or looking up.
  • Do not use spaces or special characters in paths.

Titles and Page Header ​

Every page starts with:

md
---
title: Installing the Plugin
description: Sync, update, or remove the Fortnite Porting plugin in Blender
order: 1
---

# Installing the Plugin
  • The title and main # heading must match.
  • Capitalize the main words in titles. Prefer clear actions or nouns: Installing the Plugin, Locating Blender, Frequent Props.
  • description is one short sentence that says what the page covers. Do not repeat the title word-for-word.
  • Use order when sidebar order matters. Lower numbers appear first. Put cheatsheets and reference pages last.
  • Do not make titles sound like ads, they should generally explain what they cover. Don't be over specific either.

Text Style ​

  • Lead with one or two short sentences, then the steps or list.
  • Prefer numbered steps for how-tos. Prefer bullets for notes, options, or loose lists.
  • Bold button and menu names: Plugin, Add Version, Sync.
  • Use backticks for paths, filenames, and similar values: blender.exe, docs/app/.
  • Link related pages with clean paths: [Locating Blender](/blender/locating-blender).
  • Keep sentences short. Say what to do, then any needed why.
  • Avoid filler words and long walls of text.
  • Use callouts as intended:
    • tip for optional helpful advice
    • warning for easy mistakes
    • danger for something that can break a project or lose work

Images and Media ​

  • Prefer short clips or screenshots that show one action, not a full tour.
  • Reference public files from the site root: ![Sync confirmation](/app/sync-confirmation.png).
